Product Description

Agave obscura is a compact succulent with an eye-catching rosette of deep green, lance-shaped leaves with prominent spines along the edges and a sharp, reddish-brown terminal spine. The leaves are often coated in a subtle waxy layer, which adds a silvery sheen and helps it retain moisture in arid environments. Native to central Mexico, Agave obscura flourishes in rocky, sunlit landscapes and is known for its resilience to drought. Over time, it produces a tall flowering spike, topped with clusters of small, yellowish-green flowers that attract pollinators, bringing a natural charm to desert gardens.
